A new home for ppruners who've been ppruned
Yes, good people our new home is open for inspection. Still a little bit slow as I running some debug sofware to catch any potential malfeasance. So far it's looking good. Want to try it out then go to http://www.ppruned.org/forum
Anything posted will be overwritten when I migrate the live site data, which will happen when I am happy with the site's stability. It's now on a commercial website host as well as having a new name. Enjoy.

Alison, it looks fine from here. Had difficulty posting but almost certainly our system. The boss can rarely post on here with her S4 and 3G. OK in town on WIFI though.

Hi Ex-Ascot,
could you explain in what way it was difficult? Was it different to our normal site - this one?
Alison
PS. What I am looking for in the testing is whether there are any significant differences to our normal site. Thanks

Alison, no different to this site, no grief. We are sure that it is Botswana 3G. Seems OK when we are in town on WIFI. Come on this is Africa

Had no problems reading or posting from my end.

I am a bit confused: which will be the name of the new forum with or without a d?

Re: A new home for ppruners who've been ppruned
With a 'd'. We will be at http://www.ppruned.org
Don't know exactly how long any change of IP address takes to propagate around the world. The figure often quoted is 24 to 48 hours for DNS propagation, and we do have members absolutely everywhere. This had the possibility of some members not being able to access the site for a couple of days which I though was unacceptable.
So had this bright idea to register another domain name, one that reflected the fun aspects of this place, and use that for the new site. When I do the switch over I will then do a redirect on the old name to the new. Thus the new name of http://www.ppruned.org will still be accessible via the old name of ppruned.org.
Consider the actions of the other place, in their view, to be akin to pruning rose bushes - cutting off the dead wood. Well our site is a home for those who have been ppruned from pprune. Because we as sure as hell don't consider ourselves to be dead wood.

Re: A new home for ppruners who've been ppruned
Looks like it's all going to happen this weekend - 26th/27th Sept. I am hopeful that we will not be down for more than a hour starting at 03.00 (Z, GMT, UTC, whichever takes your fancy) on the 26th. This site will still be up, but just have an explanatory page of where we've gone and a redirect to the new site.
Happy to chat here and answer any questions relating to the whys and wherefores of the move.

Alison, are you mirroring the other site right now? I ask because I just logged onto ppruned.org and noted several topics there which are not here.
Just curious.
PS: An IP address propagates quite rapidly around the world as opposed to DNS propagation which can take some time, as you pointed out.

Speed and functionality all look fine from here.
Many thanks once again Alison.

If only. Mirroring that is. They repossessed the Cray as I hadn't paid the installments. So it was all manual I'm afraid. Take a snapshot/backup of the site and then edit the SQL and config files, and reload to the new site, whilst keeping fingers crossed she's gonna fly. Has done so far, which going by Sod's law, means she won't tomorrow.
Hope all you nice people are packed for the move. All the bottles of expensive stuff wrapped in bubble wrap, etc. We can always come back if we don't lke it there.

Bar Manager
Relax folks, as the bar manager I have a C130 loaded with pallets of booze ready to take off and drop on new location. Fluffy is also aboard with a small parachute. The ALM who captured her is up for a VC. Anyone prepared to field her will be awarded a GM.
Well done Alison. Standing by.

Ex-Ascot; Trust there is sufficient Single Malt Scotch and good Aussie Red on some of the pallets.
Struth, if there is enough Single Malt we might finally get con-pilot along for the ride!

Pinky, state your preferences. I am totally with you. Just rolling a second C130 out of the hangar for specialist bar stock. Beer will arrive by converted oil tanker.
